Him and their stars.

Chapter 1928 Brainworms can also be consumables
Yu Lian was also touched. He was just the master of a swarm of insects, but now he showed a fearless spirit, which made him, who had no blood or tears, wonder if his past was too dark.

So he said, "Very good, then here comes the question. How are you going to open it?"

Shirley made a "grunt" sound, and her expression suddenly became very obviously broken.

Yu Lian hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Could it be that you don't know how to open it? That's why you've been staying nearby?"

Xia Li turned her face to a direction where Yu Lian couldn't see her, and her shoulders and the bone wings behind her began to tremble.

"During this time, you have been thinking about how to open it, but you really don't know who to ask for help. However, you were unwilling to leave, so you had to start your operation with the Diamond Nebula as your base. In the process, you also helped the rebels and my subordinates several times. As a result, we formed an unwritten alliance. Is that right?"

Charlie lowered her head and nodded barely audibly.

"Thank you for your care. Without you, my subordinates might have been wiped out, and the rebel army would never have been able to build a fleet. Who said that you wasted your time in the Diamond Nebula for most of the year?"

Xia Li was about to raise her head to show some pride, but she heard the second half of Yu Lian's words: "However, this is the only thing you have gained in the past six months. Do you still not know how to get in?"

Xia Li turned around and squatted down with her head in her arms. The two bone wings on her back also drooped down, like a chicken rack that had been over-roasted and crispy.

Xiao Hui beside him had already let out a wild and heroic laugh, the sound was so deep that if the little master heard it, it would definitely make her completely break down and die.

Yu Lian felt that as an excellent and mature adult, he should stop attacking underage girls - well, a girl whose real age was almost 200 years older than himself.

He consoled her, "But is it possible? Most of the Nest Mother's abilities have been released along with the Nest Heart it formed. Are they now your power? And this Nest Mother is just an empty shell?"

"Wow... do you think this is possible?"

Well, the little girl was not comforted.

"Besides, I have finally found this place. If there is nothing here, the Spirit of the Universe would be too unfair to me! I have suffered so much along the way."

Yu Lian scratched his scalp a little embarrassedly.

Xia Li still didn't see Yu Lian's expression, but her expression gradually became serious. The pitiful face of the girl was filled with the determination and persistence of an ascetic:

"Yes, I did not feel a high-level power from her, but my instinct tells me that the source of the last sublimation must be here. I originally thought that I had to find all the nests to get here. But after I completely melted that crazy will, I got the coordinates here. This is the clue left by my father. And now, my intuition tells me that once it succeeds, it will definitely be a sublimation of the dimension."

Xia Li's operation was quite obsessive-compulsive, and it felt like she was forcing the main storyline without completing all the elements. It would be strange if it didn't increase the difficulty of passing the level. However, Yu Lian did not object to her last content.

He actually has a similar mysterious perception.

He felt that if he opened this huge "worm egg", he might not be able to experience any dimensional ascension, but even with the most conservative judgment, it would definitely bring sublimation to his spiritual realm.

This is probably because my spirit has half of the dominant will, but my body is still a human.

Xia Li added: "Do you remember what father said? As psychics, we cannot defeat the emperor."

Yu Lian turned his head and looked meaningfully at the Illuminator's creation in front of him. His spiritual vision still could not break through the purple-gold barrier, but a bright light was reflected on his irises.

"Great, we can plan this out." He smiled brightly and held out a hand.

Charlie was still a little uncomfortable with this sudden enthusiasm, but she forced a dry smile and shook the other person's hand in return.

"So, how did you do it before?"

Xia Li nodded, walked forward and placed her hand on the purple-gold surface, inputting her energy into this spectacular creation of the Enlightener.

Immediately, a bright glow lingered on the outer shell of the "egg". Within the empty "egg", the energy flow that Xia Li injected was amplified by a rule that she herself could not understand, and turned into a vast torrent of energy, lingering and gathering within the miraculous creation, and then reappeared.

The halo of energy formed a strange pattern on the outer wall. It did not look like some complicated and mysterious spiritual array. The lines seemed more cold and precise, more like a simplified mechanical structure diagram.

Of course, it can also be regarded as a minimalist terminal operating system.

Xia Li's hand brushed across the structural diagram formed by the halo, tapped one of the blank spaces, and pushed her hand on it.

"My intuition tells me that this is an energy lock, and this is the switch." Xia Li said as a matter of course.

Yu Lian nodded. He felt that this was not a bad understanding, and it didn't cost anything to try it out.

The master exerted a little force, as if he had really pressed the little gap formed by the figure. In an instant, the purple-gold outer wall on the top of the creation suddenly opened a crack in the halo, revealing a huge amber eye, overlooking the two uninvited guests in front of it.

…No, or rather, three of them.

The giant eye swept across the entire room at a very fast pace, but it only stayed for at least half a second when it scanned Xiao Hui hovering in the air.

This should be enough to make ordinary people lose their minds. However, Yu Lian was calm. On the one hand, it was because he was knowledgeable and powerful, and he had encountered many more exaggerated scenes than this. On the other hand, it was probably because the big eyes that were opened really had no evil spirit and even seemed a little kind.

In short, it just calmly looked at Charlie who was still working hard against the wall, raised its eyes somewhat expressively, then closed its eyes again and disappeared.

Yu Lian slowly said, "Well, Xia Li..."

"No, nothing happened. It was all an illusion. What you saw was also an illusion."

"But, it just now..."

"I don't see any big eyes, nor do I see it looking down at us with its eyes drooping. Neither do you!"

Yu Lian sighed: "It doesn't despise me, only you."

Xia Li held her head, tears welling up in her eyes, and looked like she was about to squat down with her hands on her head.

Fortunately, Yu Lian changed his attitude to an academic discussion: "So, you have really been trying to crack these formations during this period?"

Xia Li nodded and said through gritted teeth: "My long-term enemy is the Galactic Empire and the Emperor. But my current enemy is this thing."

Of course, Yu Lian could only continue to stand in awe, and then he gradually smiled encouragingly: "So, how did you crack it?"

"What's your reaction? Although I haven't been to college, I'm also working hard to improve my knowledge. This kind of thing is nothing more than a robot breaking the firewall of a terminal. Computing power can actually determine everything."

Yu Lian looked at her with new eyes. At least she answered in the right direction.

Xia Li's bone wings flapped restlessly, rubbing out little bits of glowing debris on the fungal blanket. "I used fungal spore clusters to simulate the energy above, constructed a gene model, and let the worker bees secrete pheromones on each pattern, so that they can automatically merge and transform with the gene model."

"Oh, and then what?" Yu Lian felt that there was that feeling. Although Xia Li, who had culture and advanced technology, made him a little uncomfortable to adapt, it was at least a good start.

"I tried a million methods, but I couldn't even come up with a basic mathematical model. So the brain worm that helped me with the analysis was burned to death."

Oh, my goodness, so it's my subordinates' job to help me decipher the code? You, the master, can rule the country by yourself, right?
She then pointed at the graph of the halo and said angrily: "See? It's changing again? Every time I start it, the graph is different. This means that my last analysis is meaningless."

"It's meaningless anyway." Yu Lian said, "Didn't you say there are no two normal mathematical models?"

Charlie gritted her teeth and waved her hands: "That's not the point. The point is, I later used soul-eating insects that can devour silicon-based materials and alchemical materials... Uh, you haven't seen this kind of insect, but it's actually specially used to deal with psychics, and it's very expensive."

Yu Lian thought to himself, I have not only seen it, I have also killed it. However, to be honest, different (temporary) masters of the insect swarm will definitely develop different means to fight against the extraordinary according to their different demands.

The wealthy and powerful Ring-World Serpent that has never lacked alchemical resources has assembled a group of special combat insects. Rather than being a typical swarm of insects, it is more like a fantasy beast that is under its control.

The "master" on the other timeline is, of course, the terrifying spiders that are all over the mountains.

If it was a "Charlie style" soul-eating insect, perhaps it would be different.

"I wanted them to decompose the energy above. If I just use brute force to destroy a few layers, it would be much easier to analyze. However, as soon as I got close, I was melted in."

"It melted in?"

"It melted in, and the out-of-control energy was ejected, killing the nearby commanding brainworm."

Your brain worm is so pitiful!

At this point, the girl's pupils flickered with helplessness: "The last action was last month. I tried to use the synapses to synchronize the energy pulses of the creatures and transmit them to the nest mother through the surrounding fungal carpet to see if I could find the pattern of its energy flow. Then, the pulse actually bounced back and burned up..."

"Burning another brainworm to death?"

"No, no, no, I just burned half of its thinking units. I saw that it really couldn't help me with this kind of frontier decryption, so I sent it to the Helots to serve as the war zone lord."
